Swimming Week 3

LS1 and I went to the pools to learn water safety.

First we did back floating. Back floating helps us breathe when we float. To back float keep your head facing up, stomach above the water, hands beside your side, and kick.

Next we did back strokes. To backstroke, float on your back and do arm circles backwards. 

To finish up we did a dolphin dive. To do a dolphin dive, put your hands on top of each other and dive so you can touch the floor.  

The experience was amazing because  I learned a lot of new skills to help me in case I get stuck in a ripe place.  

 

Brainstorming

We brainstormed ideas so we can write a speech.

First we watched 2 videos about persuasive writing. Next we made a table to write our ideas about 3 topics which are Personal, Church, and World.

Later we sat down on the mat to share our ideas in 3 columns. The columns are personal, church, and world.

Lastly we we hihglighted the ideas with the colours green if you can persuade someone, red if think it going to be a problem, and yellow if it a good idea but can not persuade a lot of people. 

The experience was amazing because I learned more about persuasive writing.

Skip Counting and Repeated Addition

Repeating addition and skip counting are strategies for multiplication and divison.

Repeating Addition is repeating a certain number to get an answer for a problem. For example Mike was at the beach for five days he collected 14 sea shells every day to keep how many shells does he have in total? 

14 +14 +14 +14 +14 =70 the answer is 70 because 14 is added 5 times.

Skip counting is counting up or counting down using the same number. 

For example Sam has seven, 5 doller notes how much money deos he have all together?. 

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. The answer is 35 dollars because if you skip counted in fives 7 times the answer is 35.                                                                          

This activity was helpful because I learnt new strategies.

    

Persuasive Language

I learned about persuasive language.

First we watched videos about how to argue properly and persuasive writing.

Next we did an activity to show that everyone's perspective is different. For example you might see a six from one end and a nine from the other depending on where you are standing. Or you might see an 81 from one end and 18 from the other.

Lastly we made a poster about persuasion with examples 6 and 9.  

The experience was amazing because I learnt a lot about persuasion to help me when I am writing a persuasive speech.  

Swimming (Week 2)

LS1 and I went to the pools to learn water safety.

First we did a type of rotation with a kick board. We floated on our back and turned so our face was above the water. 

 

Lastly we did the dolphin dive. To do a dolphin dive, put your hands on top of each other and dive so you can touch the floor. 

The experience was amazing because I learned a lot of new skills for water safety.

Olympics vs Panmure Bridge School

 We compared the Olympics with our school (Panmure Bridge)

First we completed an activity which was called This vs That. We compared the Olympics' creed, motto, values, and flags with our schools (Panmure Bridge. An example for the Olympic motto is Faster, Higher, Stronger - Together.

Next we made slides to write the similarities and differences about the Olympics and our school ( Panmure Bridge).  

To finish up we made a logo that represents ourselves.  

The experience was amazing because I learned lots of new things about the olympics. 

Statistics

In groups  we learning about statistical investigation.

First we posed a question which was What is the month with the most and least blog posts? We checked our blogs to see how many blog posts we had in each month. 

Next we drew a data table that has all the information. January has 12 blog posts, February has 16 blog posts, March 90 blog posts, April has 53 blog posts, May has 128 blog posts, June has 80 blog posts, and July has 30 blog posts. 

To finish up made a bar graph and a pie chart. After that we wrote 3 statements about the information. The statements are January is the lowest because we had school holidays. May, June, and March are the most because we were at school for a whole month with no interruptions. July is also the lowest because we only had 2 weeks of school

The experience was amazing because I learnt new things about statistics
